ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson is a science fiction novel that explores a near-future world where the lines between reality and virtual reality are blurred. The story follows Hiro Protagonist, a hacker and pizza delivery driver, and Y.T., a teenage skateboard courier, as they become entangled in a complex plot involving a dangerous computer virus called Snow Crash, which also manifests in the real world.

The narrative delves into themes of information control and the power of language, as the virus is linked to an ancient Sumerian myth and the concept of a nam-shub, a form of verbal programming that can control people's minds. As Hiro and Y.T. investigate the origins of the virus and a mysterious religious leader, L. Bob Rife, they navigate a world filled with corporate power, technological advancements, and dangerous conspiracies. The story also delves into the concepts of the Metaverse, a virtual world, and its impact on human behavior.
